E OF DAGGETT Employers' Nominee for Safety Board Declared Unfit. PUBLIC RECORD ATTACKED Washington Commissioner, Who Re signs After Inquiry of Expense Ac count, Qualifies for New Post. OLTMPA, Wash., June 27. (Special.) Accompanied by leading members of the legislature Governor Louis F. Hart will appear before tne executive com mittee of the Kmployers' association of the inland empire in Spokane Monday to protest appointment of Floyd I Daggett as the employers' representa tive on the Spokane . district safety board. Daggett is a former member of the Industrial insurance commission who resigned following th Gillis froud trial and subsequent investigation of Daggett's personal 'expense account by the bureau of inspection in 1916. It is on his record as a member of the in dustrial insurance commission and particularly as to the personal expense account that the governor and legisla tive members are protesting Daggett's return to industrial insurance work as a safety board member. Daggett Takes Examination. Governor Hart will submit the bureau report on the expense voucher investi gation as a result of which it will be shown that Daggett repaid the state 1252 as money found to be improperly drawn on expense allowance vouchers cashed at hotels. Following this find ing and settlement. Daggett together with Commissioners A. B. Ernst an Clarence Parker, presented their resig nations to Governor Lister who imme diately accepted them. Mr. Daggett returned to Spokane and became identified with safety work for employers' association. hen the safely board act passed last winter became effective, he was nominated by the as sociation with one other as candidate for appointment on the district board, the choice to be determined by exami nation. This examination was recently held, resulting in a prospect of Dag gett qualifying for the place, which pays 83600 a year. Record Is Disliked. . Governor Hart says there is nothing personal in the proposed protest which is based on belief that Daggetts pre vious record of the commission unfits him for future service in connection with it. Under the act. the Employers' association may insist upon acceptance of Daggett and maintain him in the place as its representative, but it will have to do so against an administration protest as vigorous as can be made under the circumstances and In the prospect of unfavorable legislative action next session when further con sideration Is given industrial insur ance regulation and expansion in 1921 Protestants appearing In Spokane with Governor Hart will be P.

T STEERING GEAR FAILURE PUTS SHIP OS ROCK. Damage Will Necessitate Drydockiiif Though Apparently Only Her Forcpeak Has Suffered. Failure of the telemotor steering gear of the 8800-ton steamer West Harlan is attributed as the cause of the ves sel having taken a sheer for a high bluff, on the Washington side of the Columbia river, below Cathlamet, and near Three-Tree point, after midnight yesterday morning, sustaining damage to her forefoot that will necessitate her being brought here and drydocked for repairs. Following the accident she was backed from a rock, on which she had struck, toward the opposite side of the stream, and beached on the sand. At the point where the accident oc curred it is said there is about 80 feet of water and, as it was evident from the fact the forepeak tank was filling, that the force of the impact had caused the vessel to open forward, it was de termined to beach her. An attempt will be made to float her today with two towboats. Captain S. N. Ellenberger is master of the steamer which is sailing under the management of the Pacific Steam ship company. She was turned out by the Columbia River Shipbuilding cor poration and was bound for Europe, via New York, carrying a full cargo of wheat, amounting to '.'"5,170 bushelH and valued at ?687,P00. Reports from the scene yesterday did not indicate any cargo damage was feared. Tim fact only the forepeak suffered will no doubt permit the vessel to return under her own power.
